Wang Shichong shook his head and said calmly: "Miaocai, how can you think that I am arranging for the Turks to intercede for Goguryeo?" Do you really think that the Turks would do such a thing? ”

Yang Xuangan gritted his teeth: "Why is it impossible?" Now according to what you said, the Western Regions have lost your control, and the new Khan of the Western Turks will not continue to provide pig iron to the Eastern Turks like the previous Chuluo Khan, so the Eastern Turks, especially the aggressive special agents of Mobei, who want to maintain and develop their own army, can only turn to the Goguryeo, isn't it just to ask for a favor for them, and there will be no shortage of meat, if you really want to provoke Yang Guang, it is also the bad luck of the Monan Turks, in my opinion, then Gao Baoyi will definitely accept this mention bravely. ”

Wang Shichong said with a smile: "Miaocai, you still don't think the problem is deep enough, let's talk about the Turks first, Yizhi Wende's worry just now is actually the most normal thing, as the current Turkic Khan, Shibi Khan, will never agree to this proposal, although he got rid of the Sui Dynasty's control, and his determination to truly stand on his own feet is greater than anyone else's, but this cunning guy will never do anything to make others angry." ”

"Now that he has just ascended to the throne of the Khan, his power is unstable, and those tribes who seem to be obedient to him will not stand on his side at a critical time, especially if he takes the initiative to offend the Sui Dynasty and loses the name of righteousness, most of the tribes in the Monan grassland will betray him, the reason is very simple, the current Sui Dynasty is still very strong, and it has just come out of the fortress to show off its military might, and there is no emotional fear of chaos in the Central Plains. At that time, the Sui army did not need to send troops. Just give them a trade embargo. Within two years, the Turks were gone with no bowls to eat. Turks are wolves, have you ever seen a wolf that would take the initiative to challenge a powerful lion? ”

Yang Xuangan's brows stretched slightly, but he still didn't fully unfold: "But Shibi Khan is unwilling to do this, it doesn't mean that the aggressive spy doesn't want to do it, this person is ambitious, in order to stand on his own, he almost attacked Xue Shixiong's army of Zhengyiwu last time." What's not to do? And what you just said is indeed reasonable, once he succeeds in fooling Shibi Khan and lets the Great Sui turn his spearhead and troops to the Turks, then he will not have any loss in Mobei, and will take the opportunity to strengthen himself. ”

Wang Shichong smiled slightly: "This is indeed true, he will definitely not invite him, and the cunning fox of Shibi Khan will definitely not refuse Yizhi Wende in person, but wants to put this responsibility on others, so he will definitely gather the leaders of various departments to discuss this matter." And in the name of secrecy, there will be no mention of the pig iron transaction. How could these tribal leaders and adults lose their trade with the Sui Dynasty for a little trade with Goguryeo, or even provoke the Sui Dynasty to send troops to attack? ”

Yang Xuangan nodded: "The words are good, and it is indeed such a truth, but why should this kind of thing make such a big detour?" Wouldn't it be over if you don't arrange for them to meet? Yang Guang had already dug the Grand Canal anyway, and it would only be two or three years before he started a war against Goguryeo, so why bother to let the Turks have anything to do with Goguryeo? Isn't that redundant? ”

Wang Shichong smiled: "How can it be such an extra move, Miaocai, when did you see me Wang Shichong do something meaningless?" Now that Yang Guang wants to crusade against Goguryeo, it can be said that everything is ready, and only determination is needed. And why did he delay his determination, you know? ”

Yang Xuan looked at Wang Shichong suspiciously: "Could it be that Yang Guang also realized that the loss of people's power in Hebei is too large, and it is not suitable to use troops?" Or do you feel that you have just fought a battle after the last expedition to Tuyuhun and need to rest for a few years? Or will it take time for the grain and ordnance from the south of the Yangtze River to be transported to the north? Or is it a two-way attack on Goguryeo, and Donglae must also be prepared to build warships? ”

Wang Shichong smiled and shook his head: "It's not, think about it again, Miaocai, think about Yang Guang's character, and see what he lacks if he wants to start a war with the outside world?" ”

Yang Xuangan's eyes suddenly lit up, and he blurted out: "You mean that there is still a lack of a mouth to mobilize troops, right?!" ”

Wang Shi nodded with interest: "Yes, that's right, Yang Guang, who regards himself as a holy king, is indispensable for foreign expeditions, and today Ezhi Wende keeps saying that Goguryeo has not treated the Great Sui badly in terms of reason, and has always been a courtier to the Sui, even if the caravan is broken, the practice of slender Changsai is against the way of the ministers, and it is changed that Yang Guang really does not have an excuse to fight Goguryeo." ”

"The last time the emperor crusaded against Goguryeo, it was because Goguryeo was afraid after hearing the destruction of the Chen Dynasty, and privately reorganized his army to fight, and also cut off the tribute to the Great Sui, which can be said to be famous. But this time Yang Guang didn't have a good excuse, because Tuyuhun was, after all, a caravan from the Western Regions that had robbed the tributaries for many years, and he had committed many crimes, which was different from Goguryeo. ”

Yang Xuangan nodded again and again when he heard this: "I understand, so you want to catch a current one, create a Goguryeo secret contact with the Turks, and also provide the Turks with the pig iron embargoed by the Great Sui under the pretext of war?" ”

Wang Shichong laughed and said triumphantly: "Yes, that's right!" Once this matter is exposed, even if Yang Guang doesn't talk about fighting, those Guanlong military meritorious families who want to go into battle and make meritorious contributions will also ask for battle! This kind of thing to seek benefits for their own family in the name of righteousness, they have always been the best at it! In the last expedition between Tuyuhun and Yiwu, many people were promoted to the rank of knight, and this piece of meat in Goguryeo is fatter and looks more attractive, as long as there is a suitable reason to do it, it is strange that they don't go! ”

A smile appeared at the corner of Yang Xuangan's mouth: "So, there is one last question left, what kind of way are you going to expose it to Yang Guang about the secret collusion between Goguryeo and the Turks?" This guy doesn't know anything about Turkic intelligence, but this time he is still going to let Pei Shiju reveal the news? ”

Wang Shichong smiled and waved his hand: "No, Pei Hongda has planted a big heel in the Western Regions this time, and now he has no intention of sending envoys to the Turks, and Yang Guang also knows a little bit about my relationship with Pei Hongda, if this matter is publicized by him, it may implicate me." Not a good thing. Fortunately, there are eyeliner and ears and eyes in the East-Turks, but it's not just my Wang Shichong family, if my expectations are correct, the intelligence line left by Changsun Sheng has been transferred to his third son, Changsun Wuxian, along with his family, and this benevolent brother has already hugged the thigh of Yu Shiji, Yang Guang's number one favorite minister!
